New Zealand Police have recently introduced the hijab into their official uniform to encourage more Muslim women to join. A spokesperson for the department said they aimed to create an "inclusive" service that reflects its "diverse community." Work to develop the hijab for the New Zealand Police uniform began in 2018, in response to police staff requests. Constable Zeena Ali will become the first officer to wear the official hijab. She said, "it feels great to be able to go out and show the New Zealand Police hijab as part of my uniform. I think that seeing it, more Muslim women will want to join as well."
